  1. Zionism without the Holocaust Survivors

    If the Holocaust had been completed, which is to say either Germany wins, or at least holds out for another six months or so and is consequently able to effectively finish off the Jewish population of continental Europe, what would that mean for the Zionist movement in Palestine? I found this...

  2. If Japan had won at Midway - Could there have been a Jutland redux?

    My understanding of Midway was that Yamomoto was keeping the battleships in reserve for a classic battleship engagement after the American carrier force was reduced. If Japan had come out on top at Midway - was such a thing a possible plan for the USN or would they have holed up in Hawaii?

  3. Slavery in the US in the event of a Confederate Victory

    I've often read scenarios that assume slavery in the north is promptly abolished following defeat. But I'm not sure that is accurate and so would like the opinions of others on that. Let's assume for the sake of argument that the Confederates win, probably via a British intervention sometime in...

  4. The Fate of Japanese Asia without a Soviet intervention?

    Now, assuming a scenario in which the Soviets are unable to intervene in Asia (Germany holding out for another year or two perhaps) and assuming no Japanese surrender what would be the likely course of the war on the mainland? I would presume that the US blockade would keep support from islands...

  5. WI Argentina invaded during WWII

    I was reading the Wikipedia article about Argentina during the Second World War and apparently there was discussion of a Brazilian invasion to end Argentine neutrality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_during_World_War_II#End_of_the_war Was a US backed Brazilian invasion actually a...

  6. WI Viscount Churchill

    So assuming a situation where Churchill was made Viceroy of India without ever having been made PM, what would his title be? I believe that in the 1950s Duke of London was mooted, but I would think London is far too high level for a man who was never PM. Are there any other good possibilities?

  7. British intervention in the ACW - 1863

    A number of books and TLs have been written on the Trent War and other early war interventions - and I think the general consensus is that the US would lose fairly miserably. I am interested in the effects of a British (and I would think, French) intervention later in the war, though I'm not...

  8. Is there any way for Al Smith to win the US presidency?

    What it says on the tin. Is there any (plausible) way path for Al Smith to have taken to the White House?

  9. Alternative to Borden

    Assuming that Robert Borden wasn't available as Canadian Conservative leader (dead, still a Liberal whatever) who would have been a plausible Conservative leader running into the 1911 election?

  10. Ottoman Empire if the CP were victorious in 1918

    Assuming a POD with the March Spring Offensive succeeding and the war in the Middle East and Caucasus going essentially historically until the Autumn of 1918 what would happen to the Ottoman Empire? The war ends with them having captured Baku, but the Army of Islam was not very large and the...

  11. What would have happened to the Ottomans if they'd won the First World War?

    Assuming that the POD was the Germans somehow succeeding with the March spring offensive with an armistice reached in the Autumn of 1918 what would that have meant for the Ottoman Empire? Presuming that the war in the Middle East followed a broadly historical course into the Autumn the War ends...
